No. NETWM windows hint their fullscreen mode with a flag, but when there was 
no NETWM, windows were just fullscreen by preventing a window border an 
moveResize to the screen area.

IMHO the fullscreen hack should meanwhile be irrelevant, but:
1) it should not be unconditionally necessary to remove it for the MID shell 
(see my last mail)
2) instead of removing i'd just blind it (keep the code and add a GUIless 
option) - you really /never/ know who uses what ten year old app that might 
suddenly stumble on this.

If we don't get some harsh bug reports, we can still completely drop it for 
4.4.1 or 4.5...
